The Benefits of Custom Pressure Washer Systems for Industrial Use

When it comes to industrial and commercial cleaning, you want the right tools to maintain efficiency and performance. Custom pressure washer systems deliver targeted solutions for the unique cleaning challenges faced by businesses across different industries, and can measurably enhance efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness for your business.

Off-the-shelf cleaning equipment can fall short in demanding environments. Custom pressure washer systems can be tailored to meet specific industrial needs and engineered with the right combination of pressure, flow rate, and temperature to tackle even the most stubborn dirt, grime, or residues.

Key Benefits of Soil Sterilization in Greenhouses and Nurseries

With growers facing rising operational costs, a focus on recycling of materials, and as methyl bromide and other pesticides and herbicides are being phased out, forward-thinking companies are looking for an effective alternative to sterilize soil, control disease pathogens, nematodes, insects and weeds. Why?

  • Because healthy, insect-free, and disease-free plants produce higher yields of vegetables and flowers in less time, reaching the market sooner and resulting in faster sales.

Safe, Clean & Effective. Soil sterilization is an essential part of growing plants as well as reusing or selling media. And one of the most effective ground sterilization solutions to achieve this is with something surprisingly simple: steam.

  • Using a commercial soil steamer is a highly effective way to prepare soil in your greenhouses, high tunnels, or open fields for planting.
    • Using steam rids the substrate of fungi, diseases, invasive species, weed seeds, and other harmful biological materials. Using steam before planting gives you larger, healthier plants with improved yields.

Multiple Media Uses. We recommend the Sioux Steam Flo, an easy-to-use portable steam generator designed for soil sterilization in both nurseries and greenhouses. It’s an excellent soil sterilizer for bench soil, potting soil, propagating sand, and ground beds inside the greenhouse for vegetables, plus ground beds outdoors for flowers and vegetables, as well as nursery stock flats, pots, and benches. The Steam Flo soil sterilizer increases crop returns by producing “clean” soil, free from pathogens.

  • The Steam Flo is simple to operate. Just level the Steam Flo with provided supplies, attach a garden hose, fill the fuel tank and connect the electrical source.

High Performance. Proven Results. The Steam Flo outputs 370-845 lbs. of steam per hour, and produces quality steam in only 15-20 minutes from a cold start. After initial startup, steam is available continuously for unlimited time periods.

  • The unit can sterilize a 5′ x 50′ bench in about two hours and reduces chemical sterilizer usage.
  • It can be mounted on a trailer with 15″ pneumatic wheels and pin hitch. It can be towed by a tractor to the location, indoors or out.
  • If you need extra heat for short periods of time, you can easily connect the Sioux Steam Flo to a steam line for perimeter heat in hotbeds or plastic houses.

Heavy Duty Construction. The Steam Flo soil sterilizer is constructed of 1/4″ plate steel with brass and black iron fittings. Safety features include steam pressure relief valve, pressure control and automatic water feeder. The Sioux Steam Flo is built to ASME code and is National Board registered.

4 Undercarriage Corrosives & What You Need To Do

Are you paying for undercarriage corrosion?

Whether it’s a company car or a heavy-duty commercial truck, there’s a hidden part of your vehicle and constantly under attack: the underbelly. Why should you care? Because the structural and operational integrity of your undercarriage directly impacts vehicle safety, performance, and even long-term value!  

Unfortunately, in the rush of doing a vehicle wash, it’s commonplace to skip this crucial cleaning step. But when you do, it leaves expensive systems—like the brake lines, suspension, and exhaust—exposed to relentless corrosion. And repair and replacement costs can rapidly climb into the thousands of dollars!

Sneaky Undercarriage Corrosives


1. Damage Scratcher

Gravel, rocks, glass and general road debris bounce up into your undercarriage and constantly scrape and chip away at the protective coatings and paint. Once the bare metal is exposed, rust immediately sets in.




2. Sticky Sponge

When they stick to your undercarriage, thick dirt and mud they act like sponges. They trap and hold corrosive elements like moisture, salt and other road chemicals right up against the metal, leading to extremely fast rust spots forming in those areas.



3. Gooey Softener

Oil, grease, and other chemicals you pick up on the road cling to everything, and can rapidly ruin the non-metal parts underneath, causing them to crack or soften and fail early. This includes bushings, rubber seals and plastic wiring insulation.


4. Rust Helper

Driving at the higher elevations where there’s ice and snow? Road salt doesn’t just sit there; it’s an aggressive chemical that makes metal rust much faster. Even worse, the clingy salt takes a long time to break down, waiting for the next bit of water to restart the corrosive process over and over again. If that’s not bad enough, salt actively draws moisture out of the air and holds it tightly against your vehicle’s metal parts, constantly soaking your frame in salt water, making sure the corrosion never gets a chance to stop.

The Solution: 

Precision Undercarriage Cleaning Accessories & Equipment

A garden hose sprayer doesn't have the power to combat these destructive and costly corrosion hazards. 

You need the controlled cleaning power and coverage of a hot water pressure washer paired with the right specialized undercarriage attachments and the best detergents, specifically engineered to connect directly to your pressure washer, delivering focused streams of hot or cold water everywhere those nasty corrosive agents hide.

Purchase a Hotsy 1075SSE Hot Water Pressure Washer (or one of equal value) and receive a Free Legacy undercarriage cleaner (model # 8.749-303.0) - a $1769.35 value!

Should I Use a Floor Scrubber in My Wine Cellar?

Using a floor scrubber in a wine cellar is important for maintaining hygiene, preventing contamination, and protecting your investment. Traditional cleaning methods like mopping can spread microorganisms that thrive in the cellar's humid environment, potentially spoiling the wine. 


Superior Hygiene and Contamination Prevention

  • Remove mold and bacteria: Wine cellars are dark and humid environments, which are perfect breeding grounds for mold and bacteria. A floor scrubber thoroughly cleans and disinfects surfaces, removing the organic residues (like spilled wine or grape solids) that microorganisms feed on.
  • Prevent off-flavors: Contamination from floor microbes can be aerosolized during cleaning or dragged into contact with equipment and barrels. This can introduce unwanted flavors into the wine, compromising its quality and taste.
  • Clean porous surfaces: While seamless polymer floors are ideal, many cellars have concrete floors, which are porous and can harbor contaminants in cracks and crevices. Floor scrubbers with roller brushes can reach into textured surfaces and deep clean more effectively than a standard mop. 


Increased Efficiency and Safety

  • Save time and labor: A floor scrubber automates the application of cleaning solution, scrubbing, and water pickup, allowing you to clean a larger area in a fraction of the time it would take to mop. This increased efficiency frees up staff for other important cellar tasks.
  • Reduce slip hazards: Manual mopping leaves floors wet and slippery, posing a fall risk. A floor scrubber uses a vacuum and squeegee system to recover the dirty water, leaving the floor clean and dry almost immediately.
  • Eliminate dirty water reuse: Unlike mopping, which reuses increasingly dirty water from a bucket, a floor scrubber uses fresh cleaning solution throughout the process. The dirty water is collected in a separate recovery tank, preventing cross-contamination. 


Protection of Your Investment

  • Preserve corks and labels: Mold in a humid cellar environment can damage wine labels and, more critically, weaken corks. Compromised corks can lead to oxidation and spoilage of the wine. A floor scrubber helps control the microbial load in the cellar, protecting the integrity of your wine collection.
  • Protect flooring: Regularly deep-cleaning the floor removes the corrosive effects of wine acids and prevents the buildup of grime that can damage the surface over time. Using the right cleaning solution and brush for your floor type (e.g., concrete, epoxy) extends its lifespan.
